Goal For The Green

Who would have thought that there is a profile on who decides to go solar at home.  The results of a survey are here in this info- graphic by 1Bog. By clicking on the link you will be able to view the graphic full size.

The surprising thing to me on the information presented here, is the fact that most people don’t do go solar for the sake of helping the environment.  The decision is made primarily to help the wallet of the purchaser.  Most purchasers of solar systems are middle of the road income earners, who are liberal conservatives.  They care more about jobs, than they do about the environment, and regard their decision to purchase a solar system, basically as a wise and sound financial investment.

Solar systems can be paid off  in as little as five years. Depending on the cost of electricity in your area, they give you a good return on your investment, especially after they are paid for.

I hope you find this idea as interesting and informative as I did.  Consider solar in your “green” future, while working toward a better tomorrow!

Hopefully, when you view this infographic, you will turn over a new leaf, for your health, if you haven’t already. It is no small wonder why Michelle Obama, has initiated her Let’s Move campaign, aimed at fighting childhood obesity. People, we need to walk away from the super-sized portions, and YES, get moving, because AMERICA is FAT! Just look at this, it spells it all out right here, LOUD and CLEAR!  If this doesn’t get you motivated, then I don’t know what will.  To your HEALTH and a leaner future!

Now there are 4 R’s!  Earth Month is approaching,as is Earth Day, along with that is also the summer move season.  Are you conscious of, or about your moving carbon footprint? What steps have you taken, or do you plan to take to reuse, reduce, and recycle as you relocate? Intuition tells us that moving consumes both resources and gas, but think of the dozens of boxes and packing materials you used when you last moved. This infographic takes a closer look at the impact of moving on the environment.

It examines how much gasoline and subsequent CO2 emissions are incurred by driving a rental moving truck short, medium and long distances to a new home. It also shows you ways that you can green your move.  Planning your move and recycling or donating unwanted items so that you don’t have to transport them, using biodiesel,and opting for reusable plastic moving boxes over cardboard, are just a few ideas that can make your move easier. You can even get them in different colors, and pack color coded to what you use, and what you want to keep and put away.

We used the plastic bin idea when we moved, 5 years ago.  We always have them for stowing things away.  Ideas such as this, help the environment, while helping us all work toward a better tomorrow!
